    Histoplasmosis, a deep fungal infection, is rare in France but seen in Africa and America. This case highlights tropical diseases appearing in temperate regions due to migration.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Mycology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Tropical Medicine

    Background:

    • Histoplasmosis is a deep mycosis endemic to the Americas and Africa.
    • It is exceptionally rare in France, presenting a diagnostic challenge.

    Observation:

    • A male patient with a history of travel to French colonial Africa and Brazil presented with an undiagnosed cheek ulceration.
    • The lesion mimicked squamous cell carcinoma, a common differential diagnosis for such presentations.

    Findings:

    • Diagnosis was confirmed through histopathological examination and mycological analysis.
    • Identification of Histoplasma capsulatum confirmed the deep fungal infection.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering endemic tropical and subtropical diseases in patients with relevant travel histories.

  • Population migration necessitates increased awareness of imported pathologies in non-endemic, temperate regions.
  • Clinicians should maintain a broad differential diagnosis for persistent ulcerations, including rare fungal infections.
